True enough, Ed. I should have said business trips rather than holiday. The situations where jet lag, time shifts and business meetings combine to lock me in some identikit inner city with insufficient time to get out of it to somewhere more interesting. (You might be surprised how few towns even have museums worth visiting more than once.) On some business trips I do manage to get out and about, but it takes time that I don't necessary have.

I don't think I have ever watched television on holiday, except occasionally on sea days on a cruise. But even then, I am more likely to be off proving I can't play bridge, or something like that.
